It's a small world after all

Even in a social constructionist environment words for objects are built through the finders/inventors selfishness and need for recognition, or complete non-understanding of the language to misinterpret a word. Words are then transferred from word dialect to word dialect and interpreted into language. Even within the United States there are several subcultures call the same item by different names. For instance in southern states such as Georgia and Louisiana what Californians would call a shopping cart they referred to as a buggy, or maybe a better description would be here in California a can of Mountain Dew is referred to as a "soda", but in most southern states it would be referred to as a "pop". That doesn't mean either one is right or wrong, it just means that different cultures referred to different items in different ways. We talked about videogames in everyday conversation and use words that in cultures without the influence of media and video games would not even exist. Even between slightly similar modern cultures things that we talked about here may be considered taboo in other cultures, and vice versa here. Just because we sometimes forget how big the world truly is, doesn't mean that's not a small world after all.
